Assessment · Overview

What the assessment covers.

A structured obligation map for space operators — national law, NIS2 themes, and preparation for the proposed EU Space Act (COM(2025) 335). Not a quiz. Not a score. A first picture of what attaches to the facts you provide.

Not a score

Verdicts

Applicable / conditional / contested — with sources.

Two depths

Quick · Full

Minutes anonymous, or account-based depth.

Honest gaps

Unknowns

What you cannot settle yet stays counted, not invented.

Purpose

Map obligations to your answers — then explain each finding.

You answer short questions about role, mission, orbit, and readiness. The engine attaches regulatory themes that fit those facts and returns an obligation map with cluster counts and one headline finding each on the quick tier.

Every surface finding is an explanation envelope: what applies, why, what it means for you, the answers that drove it, and legal sources with as-of dates. Incomplete envelopes are withheld.

Topics

What gets assessed.

Clusters on the result surface. Exact findings depend on your answers — not every cluster fires for every operator. The EU Space Act remains a proposal until adopted; we map against the Commission text and live national / NIS2 rules.

01

Scope & identity

Operator type, establishment, and whether defence-only exclusions apply — so the map starts from who you are, not a generic checklist.

02

Authorisation & registration

Licensing and registration duties that attach to launch, operation, or hosting under national law and the proposed EU framework.

03

Regime direction

Whether answers point toward a lighter or standard path — always with the reasoning, never a bare badge.

04

NIS2 gateway

Essential / important / out of scope / needs clarification — the open state stays open, never mislabeled as “does not apply”.

05

Debris & space safety

Orbit regime, disposal, collision-avoidance and related safety obligations that scale with altitude and mission design.

06

Resilience & cybersecurity

NIS2-style risk management themes and space-resilience expectations where they attach — applicability separated from readiness.

07

Spectrum & filing anchors

Whether RF / ITU-style coordination and filing clocks are in play for your activities (dates you can defend, not invented RF math).

08

Export control nexus

Dual-use and controlled-item flags that can sit next to space ops — surfaced when answers indicate export exposure.

09

Insurance & liability themes

Where third-party liability and national insurance floors are likely to attach to the mission profile.

10

Environmental & launch-site

Where environmental assessment or launch-site duties may apply (jurisdiction-dependent).

11

Unknowns & unassessed

Honest count of what the quick tier cannot settle — the path into the full assessment, not a guess filled in for you.

You receive

What the result looks like.

Obligation map

Counts and headlines per cluster — applicable, conditional, contested, advisory.

Explanation envelopes

WHAT / WHY / WHEREFORE, with sources and confidence — incomplete envelopes are withheld, not half-shown.

No overall score

No 0–100 “compliance score”. A dated obligation picture, not vanity KPI theatre.

General information — not legal advice on your specific situation, and not proof of compliance. EU Space Act references use the Commission proposal (COM(2025) 335) unless a final Regulation is adopted. Results depend on the accuracy of your answers.
